  2. June: A 5-page conference website (speakers, schedule, FAQs, venue info, tickets & registration)
  3. October: Preparing the website for archiving after the conference ends

These are paid positions, and for each of the roles, we welcome candidates of all backgrounds.

The Rails Foundation is looking for the following:
